BE THE CURE




In a world filled with so much sorrow
Be the pen that writes a happy tale
Be the eyes that sees the good in people
Be the nose that appreciates the pleasant smell of blooming flowers
Be the mouth that speaks kind words
Be the lips that spreads the Good News
Be the hands that give to the needy
Be the stomach that hungers but gets satisfied
Be the heart that holds no grudge
Be the legs that lead right
Be the feet that taps to good music
Be the builder and not the destroyer
Be the encourager and not the bully
Be the best version of you
Sow the best seeds you have
Reap a good harvest and be grateful
Give thanks whenever you can



Too many people are dying from depression
Be the cure
And not the cause

SHE BICKERED



She bickered
He laughed
It was harmless
She was cute
It didnt make him love her less
No one was hurt
No frown in sight
It had no roots
Of course not!
Or so he thought
So she bickered and bickered


She bickered
He giggled
It still seemed harmless
Her fingers she wiggled
It still didnt make him love her less
It wasnt so disturbing
Though it was getting a bit boring
She smiled a lot less
Nothing seemed out of place
For there was no frown on her face
But she bickered and bickered


Oh, she bickered!
He couldnt make her stop
His buttons she would pop
A gesture so automatic
He was beginning to love her less
Someone, please make her stop!
He could smell the resentment
And her smile was still absent
Or maybe she was just being dramatic
So he let her bicker and bicker


She bickered!!!
This was wicked!
He missed the peace
He needed a release
She was like a dragon with no control
Always in rage like a provoked troll
Or was he the problem?
Maybe she needed him out
So he packed up few of his clothes and moved out
Giving her more space to bicker and bicker

Don’t Let




Even when it all seems established and fruitful
Don’t let pride creep in
Even if you are swimming in a pool of emeralds and pearls
Don’t let pride creep in
Even when you are sliding through life with all your trophies
Don’t let pride creep in
Even when you’ve defeated giants and claimed territories
Don’t let pride creep in


Even when your table is filled with food
Don’t let pride creep in
Even when your cellar is well-stocked with the finest of wines
Don’t let pride creep in
Even when you visit kings and queens
Don’t let pride creep in
Even when you sit down to dine with the wise
Don’t let pride creep in


Even when they try to flatter you with sweet words of admiration
Don’t let pride creep in
Even when you hear the crowd chant your name
Don’t let pride creep in
Even when they salute and serve you
Don’t let pride creep in
Even when all your prayers seem to be answered
Don’t let pride creep in

Remain humble and thankful!





Even when the morning goes and the evening comes
Don’t let doubt creep in
Even when all doors seem to be closed
Don’t let doubt creep in
Even when they laugh at your perseverance and faith
Don’t let doubt creep in
Even when they turn you down and walk away
Don’t let doubt creep in


Even when the rain begins to pour
Don’t let doubt creep in
Even when the ones closest to you betray you
Don’t let doubt creep in
Even when the tears threaten to pour
Don’t let doubt creep in
Even when your wallet looks old and empty
Don’t let doubt creep in


Even when your stomach growls and your tongue is dry
Don’t let doubt creep in
Even when they make silly faces and laugh at your dreams
Don’t let doubt creep in
Even when you’ve been rejected and scorned
Don’t let doubt creep in
Even when tomorrow seems too far
Don’t let doubt creep in

Always believe, never lose faith!
